'llut no respect for any authority should deter.'him 'train opposing what he Conceived to bb contrary to the law °lllations and the laws of the land. The Privy Council• was limited. la. respect to the orders it may issue by. the law of nations; as well as the Prize Courts and the Court of Admiralty ; and there as well as every where else the exercise of the prerogative was limited by fixed rules, This do6trine was simEtioned by the highest' legal opinions: It would be found in the 'celebrated • letter referred to in the -Duke' of Newastlets Paper respeeting the Prussian ships, and sit ned . by'sir Dudley iyelcrand, Mr. Murray. It was expressly. .laid down by these great authorities, that the Count. of. Privy Gotanotl' was subject . to the• Law of Nations as well as the prize' 'ChM/ . and. the Conrt of Admiralty.; -g fliere was besides the principle, that GOvernment was ne ver to iptercere, in !net), cases, and that nu instruc tions were given to Judges. it was the opinion of Lord Eldon, expressed on an sipitol in the last, war, that the Orders of Council were nothing 'but. a defi nition of What was at that time held to be the Law of Nations; on the particUlar points of the _vet:aera tion.' It was therefore now a fairmatter ot'iaquiry, -how far the provisions of the Orders of Ceuncil were consistent with the laW of nations and the law of the hind; Whatever extraorditairy do4rinois may arise Out ,of the, Mc circumstances of the - tii, and whatever extraordinary arts may arise out of those doctrines, -it could never be .allowed that the Privy ti Council should :arrogate to itself what was the bUsi nesS of Parliament. It was not consistent with the Law of Nations to cize the ships of neutrals, nor ,could , mere principle of. ret.,aliatkou ti ,on a third: party justify such a sei . zure.ThiOrd-a: o Gamed of the Dili JandarY last year, was in re;:iliarlonior a Decree of the French GovernMent. That Decree. -consisted of two parts, one of which went to pre vent the consumption or admission of )(Kis, and the other to place the British Islauds in a 'state of blockade 'Phis last Was lode( d:e wain bcfast it was'incapable ofelecutioo, add ea 461)0 had b e au ever made to execute it.

In these Reports it was. laid down, that ain de-. claration of blockade-was not sufficient to:give tree• rights :against infraction of that blockade,,unless there was really a force to render that blockadeo, 'fedual. Wits there any, force to render the Decree of general blockade effedual on the iiart of the French ? Certainly titere was no reason to suppos e thit the principle of the Decree would be enforced, with respea' to America,. and America was the Neu: tral s Power:that was most to be looked to in the ,„, prusent question. the eXpliin;itiOn , t.lhit heel place between :M.

The explanation 'given •by Decres, the French Minister, of Marine, to General Armstrong, the American' Minister, amounted 10 au assuranCe, tlwt there was nointention to enforce the rigours of the French Decrees at sea, , All that Was intended to be executed was an internal restriction against the admission of English goods, and dven'ilie Vessel* that biota& thosc goods' were exempted frbm; ,the condedinfitiou thaf.attaChe& to' the goods them-. selves.

Nations and the Law of Lind Forbad the entrance of neutrals by -Compttision • into ouri ports, and the - .prohibition of their sailing unless •wifh licence'lwa ouriGoVernment. The'Ft•elich Government.required certificates of origin, ns which' the articles that composed' thecargo were to we de clared.not British ; we imposed a necessity 'of taking licences from a British port, which were equivalent to a proof that the 'goods were British. This was the most effeaual mode of promoting the 'Views of Buonaparte. , :The; entrance into British ports, and the egress front these pOrts were, by the .
